UKDS has a long-standing international reputation as a leading social science repository that provides data curation and dissemination services and long-term digital preservation services to the research community.

    The UK Data Archive (UKDA) is the UK's largest digital collection of social sciences and population research data. UKDA is the lead partner in the UK Data Service.

    UKDS is seeking to appoint a Director at an exciting inflection point in the development of future data services.
